There could be a rise in the number of people looking for landlord building insurance, as more individuals took out buy to let mortgages in the third quarter than in the preceding three months.
New figures from the Council for Mortgage Lenders showed a 16 per cent increase in the number of property purchase loans advanced to portfolio investors between July and September to 34,500 from 29,700 in April to June.
Meanwhile, the value of buy to let lending rose by 19 per cent to reach £3.8 billion compared with £3.2 billion in the second quarter.
Director-general of the body Paul Smee explained the upwards trend is caused by greater demand for rented housing.
“Some existing buy to let landlords have been expanding their portfolios and the growth that returned to the sector in the preceding quarter has continued,” he stated.
Precise Mortgages’ sales director Roger Morris recently wrote in an article for Mortgagestrategy.com that tenant demand for housing is significantly outstripping supply.
